I don't love performing, because it's nerve-racking and it's time - consuming to rehearse a whole set - and my time can often be better served writing music and just making it and putting it out.

I was weirdly obsessed with music until I was 11, and then I turned into a nerd.

I don't really even go out that much now except to walk my dogs, because I don't want to be recognised.

I love visual gags and gimmicks; I love them.

I'm really visually stimulated more than anything. I don't really listen to music. I'm more into watching telly or watching movies and visual art.

When I was 10, my parents really valued success in the arts, and I thought if I was a famous 'something artistic,' that they would love me more.

I'll be the songwriter for pop stars and then they can be the front person and I don't have to be famous.
